The activity section on TikTok allows you to see a log of your recent engagement and interaction on the platform. This includes likes, comments, shares, follows, and more. However, TikTok has changed the user interface over time, so the activity section may not be immediately obvious for new users.
Finding the Activity Section
There are a couple ways to access your TikTok activity section depending on which version of the app you have:
Method 1: Through the Profile Tab (Earlier Versions)
On older versions of TikTok, the activity section can be found by:
- Open the TikTok app on your mobile device
- Tap on the “Profile” tab on the bottom navigation bar
- Tap on the “Activity” tab at the top of the screen
This will open up your activity feed showing your recent engagement on the platform. You’ll see tabs for “Likes,” “Comments,” “Followers,” “Following,” and more. Tap on each tab to view that type of activity.
Method 2: Through the Settings Menu (Newer Versions)
In newer versions of TikTok, the activity section has been moved to the Settings menu:
- Open the TikTok app and tap on the “Me” tab on the bottom
- Tap on the 3-Line Icon in the top right corner to open the menu
- Choose “Settings and privacy” from the menu
- Select “Privacy” from the Settings page
- Tap on “Activities” to view your engagement feed
This will display the same activity feed as the earlier method. You can swipe down to view likes, comments, follows and other recent activity.
What Does the Activity Section Show?
The TikTok activity feed shows all your recent engagement and interactions chronologically. This includes:
- Likes: Videos you have liked
- Comments: Comments you have made on videos
- Mentions: Times you were mentioned in comments/captions
- Followers: New followers of your account
- Following: New accounts you have followed
- Livestream: Livestreams you have participated in
The activity section essentially logs all your public activity on TikTok. It does not show any private messages or engagement with friends.
Why is the Activity Section Useful?
There are a few reasons why the TikTok activity feed can be helpful:
- Lets you review and manage your engagement
- Find videos/accounts you previously liked or commented on
- See new followers and follow backs
- Keep track of mentions and replies
- Monitor your public activities on the platform
For influencers and content creators, the activity section provides analytics on how well your content is performing based on likes, comments and shares. It can help identify your top videos and most engaged followers. You can also use it to clean up old likes/comments or find conversations to follow up on.
How to Manage Your Activity
Within the activity feed, you have a few options to manage or remove your public engagement:
- Likes: Tap the trash icon to unlike a video
- Comments: Tap and hold a comment, then choose “Delete” to remove it
- Follows/Mentions: No option to remove directly but you can block accounts
If you want to wipe your entire activity history, you can request for TikTok to erase all your activity data. Simply go back to Settings > Privacy > Erase Activity Data.
Activity Section on TikTok Web
The TikTok activity feed is also available on the TikTok website for desktop. To access it:
- Go to TikTok.com and log into your account
- Click on your profile icon at the bottom right
- Choose “View activity” from the dropdown menu
This will open your activity page on desktop. It has the same capabilities as the mobile app. You can scroll through your feed, unlike videos, delete comments and more.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you can’t find your activity section in the app, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure TikTok is updated to the latest version
- Older/secondary accounts may not have the activity section
- Try logging out and logging back into your account
- Double check that you’re on the Profile/Me tab before accessing settings
- The feed only shows public activity, not private messages
If it is still unavailable, you can try reaching out to TikTok support for help accessing the activity feed.
In Summary
The TikTok activity section provides a log of all your public engagement on the platform. It’s useful for managing your profile, tracking growth analytics and cleaning up your digital footprint. While the interface has changed over time, it can still be accessed through the Profile or Me tab in settings on mobile and web. Check your app version and troubleshoot issues if you can’t find it.
